Post contest question

Squat Ass · Oct 28, 2004

I have a question for you guys. 4 days after the show I feel physically good. I feel like i am holding water in calves and gut. I am eating very clean and doing light training, how long do you guys think until I am back to normal? week days years???

what do you mean by 'back to normal'?

i assume you mean not holding so much water- back yo normal. prolly will take 7-10 days to get the water rebound off you. keep you water intake at a gallon minimum, and it help it go away faster.

I think what your seeing is mostly a mental thing. However, your body will put on a bit of water for "self preservation" if ya know what I mean.

No Queefer unfortunatly its not a mental thing at all its very real , even the socks around calves can leave indentations from pressure

let me ask you this Squatt ass did you take a dieretic ??? if so you should have continued to take them after the show up to 3-4 days THIS IS A COMMON MISTAKE and can cause very fast weight gain from water and will be hard to lose . let me know.

I believe you should taper the dosage as well.

AFTER MY LAST SHOW I COULD COUNT THE LACES

....FROM THE INDENTATIONS ON THE TOPS OF MY FEET. (THIS WAS AFTER REMOVING MY SHOES. I HAD 'CANKLES' A CALF THAT DIDN'T TAPER DOWN INTO A SLENDER ANKLE AT ALL. JUST NASTY AND IT HURT. SWOLLEN....THIS IS BECAUSE I ATE LIKE A PIG FOR DAYS AFTER AND HAD LOTS OF SALTY FATTENING FOOD. IF I EVER DO ANOTHER SHOW....I'LL GRADUALLY BEGIN NORMAL EATING.

No cankcles.. I am feeling better and looking super full and vascular. I am still eating clean with a little cheats (like the cookies I made tonight). I am going to go on a run now, the butter and sugar from the cookies made me feel sick and kinda drunk like... weird....I will post how my body reacts later.

This is correct but it isn't limited to just diuretic use. Almost everything that you are taking should have a taper and be stopped at different intervals post contest.
